<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Joey_mar_cur</b></div><div>as far as that habs trade goes your value is pretty close to fair, nobody would flip **** if that was all it was. unfortunately, Montreal is a team without a true far and away #1 defenceman that would still be so on most of the teams in the league, think Hedman, makar, fox, Slavin, Hamilton, Ekblad, ETC. Romanov is the closest thing we have to that, he's young and plays both LD &amp; RD, and showed massive improvement under MSL even becoming our clear-cut best blueliner. under this context, he is probably if not definitely a top-three piece for this team in terms of value, right next to 14 and 22. trading for him would almost definitely have to be an overpay just because he is really all that we have right now.</div></div>

Appreciate the honest detailed response. Makes a ton of sense why the idea of the trade would ruffle some feathers then.

Out of curiosity, how much more would it take? I'm not sure from a Sabres perspective it would make much sense to add much more, but what would a trade from your perspective have to look like?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MP55</b></div><div>Romanov is a young up and coming top 4 d man who really took a step forward and improved when MSL took over, playing the most minutes out of any Hab. Allen is one of the better backups in the league and will be important to the Habs next year when price needs his workload managed. He will be an integral part in keeping Primeau in the ahl so he can have some consistency and build off this insane playoff he’s having. We’re not giving both up for a change of scenery player who has shown nothing in the nhl so far.</div></div>

My thought was that they are not in a very good cap situation currently. The MTL media and fan base are not going to be happy to hear "rebuild" so they will need to clear some space for a on the fly rebuild/retool.

This may be way off base, but was the basic concept behind this trade.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lenny54</b></div><div>Not_Not_Batman My question is why are you trading Ryan Johnson? Last year many Sabres ACGM's were trading Samuelsson but not anymore. Just bc he is a LHD doesn't mean we trade him. Some have said he does slide to the right side at times without a problem. He can be brought along at a slower pace and develop in Rochester. I keep the kid till we see what we have for at least a season or 2 to see what we have.</div></div>

He has to be signed by next spring. I Imagine if he doesn't get a crack at the big club next season then he will just hold out and go the college UFA route. He is not playing over Dahlin, Powers or Samuelsson on the left and He would be a long shot to be the 3rd guy on the right. He is very much expendable with all the LD prospects that we have, so he makes the most sense to leverage in a trade to get stronger up front. Samuelsson was the guy last season because everyone believed that Johnson was ahead of him on the depth chart in regards to development.
